POLITICAL SITUATION
SETTLEMENT EXPECTED (Rec. 0.10 a.m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 27. “ Informed circles expect that a specific settlement of the North African political situation will be announced, supplementing the vague communique,” says the Washington correspondent of the Herald-Tribune. “The settlement will end the discord, ensure military success in eliminating the Axis from North Africa, and enable concentrated air attacks against Italy. “Observers point out that the large R.A.F. raids on Berlin occurred 48 hours after the conference began on January 14. Mr Churchill and President Roosevelt no doubt ordered the raids as part of the comprehensive war plans which were then under discussion. “The minor reference to China in the communique is not interpreted to mean that China or the South-west Pacific will play second fiddle, but it is apparent that the blows against Germany will come first while a holding action is fought against Japan.”
